Also a great deal of evidence that 'right-wing threats' are...heavily compromised by government agents already. Which could be positive*.
The Proud Boys head honcho being an informant, the alleged kidnapping plot of Wisconsin's governor being rife with informants and people working witht he FBI in undisclosed capacity, the Malheur Refuge Occupation and general whole Bundy land-saga that erupted years ago seeing a bunch of not guilty verdicts in court precisely because federal agents and informants were all up in the business pointing fingers at one another...Hell, it would be unsurprising entirely if any of the stuff actually inciting any of this March 4th ohmygod moment the House is having originated from federal informants or undercovers already in place in whackadoo groups of 'militia'.
*Could be because, independent of partisan concerns, the FBI offering explodey-material to mentally-ill people in eyebrow-raising scenarios that looks awfully like entrapment is a legitimate concern for civil rights...Which is beside, of course, the massively bloated-by-PATRIOT act superpowers the NSA and other agencies still retain.
I have a strong suspicion that in those cases where some right wing group was infiltrated and caught planning some attack, that it was the FBI who were the ones planning the attack and encouraging the others to do it.
